I'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE IN ALASKA
Original Song by Geoff Mack (I've Been Everywhere)
Bethel lyrics by Michael Faubion

I got my snow machine stuck out on that windy Atmautluak trail.
When along came a musher, pulled me out and a saved my tail.
He said, "If you're going to Atmautluak man, with me you can ride."
So I climbed into the sled and I hunkered down inside.
I said, "Have you ever seen a trail with so much ice and snow?"
and he said, "Listen, Bud, I've been everywhere in this state there is to go."

He said--

I been everywhere, man,
In Alaska I been there, man,
Across the tundra bare, man,
I even seen a grizzly bear, man,
I been everywhere!
